Painting on second-hand clothing, an upcycling workshop on the Plateau
Turn a thrifted garment into wearable art: a hands-on, sustainable painting workshop in Montréal.
Give second-hand clothes a second life. In this hands-on workshop on the Plateau (4455 rue Saint-Denis), a professional artist guides you to paint and customize a thrifted garment, a jacket, a tote, a pair of jeans, into a unique, wearable piece. It's creative, sustainable, and a brilliant activity for a group of friends, a birthday or a team outing.
No experience needed, just bring a garment (or use one of ours) and leave with art you can wear.
